E.T. Phone Home
Filed in Geek, Tech, August 25, 2008, 12:06 pmFor some reason I started looking at the phones available through my cell phone service provider, Alltel, this morning. My current contract isn’t up till January so it’s a little pre-mature to be hunting for a new phone. Although I’m not the world’s biggest Alltel fan, it’s doubtful I would move away from them in [...]
Servered Again
Filed in Tech, August 8, 2008, 1:03 pmI wanted to add to my last post, I think Windows Home Server (WHS) is an excellent product, especially for some one who doesn’t want to go through all the trouble of managing their own server. WHS is very painless.I also wanted to include a link to this site, http://www.wegotserved.co.uk/ . It’s an excellent source [...]
You Just Got Servered!
Filed in Tech, August 7, 2008, 8:33 pmA month or two back I installed Windows Home Server (WHS) on my desktop at home. It’s a pretty interesting operating system built on top of Windows Server 2003 (WS2K3).

With this release Ubuntu is so close to having a product that you could recommend to a newbie and they wouldn’t be completely lost.Here’s a picture of my current desktop:
New Job?

It’s not that there is anything wrong with my current job. I’ve been [...]
As the Microblogging World Turns
Filed in Blog, Tech, June 18, 2008, 11:03 pmI’m really starting to enjoy Plurk. I wasn’t sure what to think of Plurk in the beginning. It’s different than Twitter and I enjoy it for it’s differences, but also for its similarities.
For those of you unfamiliar with Plurk, it’s one of the newer entries in the microblogging landscape currently dominated by Twitter. Twitter is [...]
Zunes, iPods, and Sandisks Oh My!
Filed in Tech, June 10, 2008, 11:32 amI’ve gone through a lot of mp3 players in 6-7 years. I started out with a couple different players made my Creative. I liked them. The first was a Creative Nomad, which had a full size laptop drive in it. The thing was huge, but I upgraded it so that it held 60GB of music. [...]
